Var. 125 (2013) Depressaria pyrenaella sp. n. – A confused species from south-western europe (Lep. : depressAriidAe) Jan Šumpich Česká Bělá 212, CZ-582 61 Česká Bělá, Czech Republic (E-mail: [email protected]) Abstract Depressaria pyrenaella Šumpich, sp.n. is described from Spain and France, where it was found at higher elevations of the pyrenees. The new species is illustrated in colour and compared with similar and related species and its male genitalia are pictured. The first record of Depressaria cervicella herrich-Schäffer, 1854 from the European part of Russia is given. Keywords : Lepidoptera, Depressariidae, Depressaria pyrenaella, new taxon. introduction The family Depressariidae contains a number of conspicuous and attractive species but, to date, has not been critically overhauled taxonomically, for the palaearctic or even in Europe. many groups of familiar species require a thorough revision or, in contrast, many conspicuous species remain unnamed as a consequence of avoiding the description of a species already defined. During my visit to The natural history museum in London in 2008, i had an opportunity to study microlepidoptera collections there. among others, i noticed a Spanish specimen included, tentatively, with Depressaria zelleri Staudinger, 1879, but being remarkably different from the typical form. Several years later i found the same species while studying collections of the naturhistorisches museum in Vienna. There it was classed as Depressaria cervicella herrich-Schäffer, 1854 from which it was hard to distinguish. after a comparative study of genitalia in relative and similar species and a revision of available literature it was apparent that this was a new, undescribed species. material and method The study material is deposited in collections abbreviated as follows: Bmnh The natural history museum, London, uK mZmB moravian museum, Brno, czech Republic nhmW naturhistorisches museum, Wien, austria ZSm Zoologische Staatssammlung, munich, Germany J.

(nhmW). description: Wingspan 29–30 mm. head and frons covered with creamy scales. palpi creamy, generally darker than in D. zelleri , with an addition of remarkably brown scales, even on the last segment (the last segment unicolourous light cream in D. zelleri ). The second palpal segment is covered with a fan of scales, which is clearly less feathery than in D. zelleri . antennae brown, filiform, slightly annulate. Thorax rather narrow, appearing less robust than in D. zelleri . Forewings narrow, light brown to brown (rather grey in D. zelleri ), with the venation markedly dusted with black scales, similarly as in D. cervicella . in D. zelleri , the dusting is usually less apparent and often interrupted, in aberrant specimens even lacking. hindwings silvery white, darkened at front margin and apex. cilia of the same shade as wings. male genitalia (Fig. 2). Valva very broad, terminating apically with a pointed, slightly deflected projection. Dorsal valval edge with an apparent small rib-like projection medially. The space between the projection and the apex of valva conspicuously convex (indistinctive in D. zelleri). cuiller minute. clavus short and pointed. Tegumen narrow and high. Gnathos broadly oval (more elongated in D. zelleri ), socii thin, long (thinner than in D. zelleri ). aedeagus thin, twice slightly deflected, pointed at the end, with two groups of cornuti – the first as a fan of spines pointing to the end of aedeagus, the second as a row of short spines crossing the aedeagus (both groups of cornuti are more compact and cramped in D. zelleri ). Female genitalia. unknown. diagnosis: The new species (plate 1, figs 1–3) is very similar externally to D. cervicella (plate 1, figs 4–5), from which it is reliably distinguishable by differences in genitalia. D. cervicella belongs to the group of species with an undeveloped clavus. it has one strong and elongated cornutus inside the phallus. D. pyrenaella sp. n. is closest to D. zelleri , with very similar male genitalia, but in D. zelleri the front edge of the valva is only slightly rounded, without an apparent projection and the gnathos is elliptical and more elongated. The new species is also markedly bigger than D. zelleri (plate 1, figs 6–8) and its wing venation is dusted more conspicuously. distribution: pyrenees: Spain (catalonia, aragon), France (Region of Languedoc- Roussillon) (Fig. 1). derivatio nominis: The specific name is derived from the mountains where the type material was collected. Life history: unknown. The locality of the holotype – Jaca (800 metres asl.) – is situated in a mountainous landscape on the south-western foothills of the pyrenees where the collector William Fassnidge stayed during language visits combined with entomological research in 1931 and 1933. his collecting activities covered wide areas, mostly at higher altitudes than the town of Jaca (Fassnidge, 1934–1935). The paratype from Spain was captured at 1700 metres. The locality of the French paratype (collected by Karl predota) close to Vernet-Les-Bains is situated at c.700 metres. all specimens were recorded in august.

Distribution map of Depressaria pyrenaella Šumpich, sp.n. remarks: D. zelleri was described from Turkey (amasia). Later it was found by J. Klimesch in northern italy (Klimesch, 1953, as D. cervicella ) and lately the species was confirmed also from Romania (Lvovsky, 2001) and southern France (Grange et al., 2011), which includes a photograph and drawing of male genitalia of the French specimen, both corresponding with typical Turkish specimens of D. zelleri . The occurence of D. zelleri in Spain has to be regarded as unconfirmed, since the specimen published by Ylla & macià (2008; male genitalia pictured in the paper) actually belongs to the newly described species. The distribution of D. cervicella is the most extensive of the three mentioned species and covers mongolia, iran, Turkey and the asian part figure 2. male genitalia of of Russia ( Читинская областъ ) (cf. Lvovsky, Depressaria pyrenaella Šumpich, sp. 2001); in Europe it is reliably known from the n. (drawing from slide no. 19153 in central zone (czech Republic, austria, hungary) coll. Bmnh).

Var. 125 (2013) and also from italy, croatia (Lvovsky, 2011. http://www.faunaeur.org/ accessed 24 December 2012) and the European part of Russia (this paper, plate 1, fig. 5). Spanish voucher specimens identified as D. cervicella need revision because of possible confusion with the newly described species. Based on available material it appears that D. pyrenaella sp. n. could be endemic for the pyrenees and their foothills, as are a number of other taxa. To confirm this hypothesis, more material is needed.

    SYSTEMATICS OF THE MEGADIVERSE SUPERFAMILY GELECHIOIDEA (INSECTA: LEPIDOPTEA) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sibyl Rae Bucheli, M.S. ***** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Dr. John W. Wenzel, Advisor Dr. Daniel Herms Dr. Hans Klompen _________________________________ Dr. Steven C. Passoa Advisor Graduate Program in Entomology ABSTRACT The phylogenetics, systematics, taxonomy, and biology of Gelechioidea (Insecta: Lepidoptera) are investigated. This superfamily is probably the second largest in all of Lepidoptera, and it remains one of the least well known. Taxonomy of Gelechioidea has been unstable historically, and definitions vary at the family and subfamily levels. In Chapters Two and Three, I review the taxonomy of Gelechioidea and characters that have been important, with attention to what characters or terms were used by different authors. I revise the coding of characters that are already in the literature, and provide new data as well. Chapter Four provides the first phylogenetic analysis of Gelechioidea to include molecular data. I combine novel DNA sequence data from Cytochrome oxidase I and II with morphological matrices for exemplar species. The results challenge current concepts of Gelechioidea, suggesting that traditional morphological characters that have united taxa may not be homologous structures and are in need of further investigation. Resolution of this problem will require more detailed analysis and more thorough characterization of certain lineages. To begin this task, I conduct in Chapter Five an in- depth study of morphological evolution, host-plant selection, and geographical distribution of a medium-sized genus Depressaria Haworth (Depressariinae), larvae of ii which generally feed on plants in the families Asteraceae and Apiaceae.

  • Records of Two New Palearctic Moth Species Associated with Queen Anne’S Lace in Nova Scotia
    J. Acad. Entomol. Soc. 13: 54-57 (2017) NOTE Records of two new Palearctic moth species associated with Queen Anne’s lace in Nova Scotia Jeffrey Ogden Daucus carota Linnaeus, commonly known as Queen Anne’s lace or wild carrot, is native to Europe and southwestern Asia. It is believed to have been introduced to North America in soil ballast by the first European settlers (Lindroth 1957). It has historically been used as a food source and is the ancestral plant of our common cultivated garden carrot. Since its introduction, Daucus carota has spread widely and is common to much of North America. In Nova Scotia, this biennial is a very common plant of fields, roadsides and other weedy areas throughout the mainland and parts of Cape Breton (Zinck 1998). Previous insect surveys have recorded hundreds of species of insects attracted to the large white flower heads of the plant (Judd 1970; Largo & Mann 1987). Although considered a common weed species, Daucus carota is an important host to numerous beneficial insect species, including many pollinators and predatory species (Judd 1970). In this report, the first detections ofSitochroa palealis (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Crambidae), the carrot seed moth, and Depressaria depressana (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Depressariidae), the purple carrot seed moth, are described from Nova Scotia. Larvae of each species were collected within the flower heads of Daucus carota during the summers of 2015 to 2017. Adults were collected as part of an ongoing light trapping survey and through lab rearing. Verified photograph records were also considered. Voucher specimens have been deposited in the Nova Scotia Department of Natural Resources Reference Collection, the Nova Scotia Museum, and the author’s personal collection.

  • Non-Target Effects of Insect Biocontrol Agents and Trends in Host Specificity Since 1985
    CAB Reviews 2016 11, No. 044 Non-target effects of insect biocontrol agents and trends in host specificity since 1985 Roy Van Driesche*1 and Mark Hoddle2 Address: 1 Department of Environmental Conservation, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA 01003-9285, USA. 2 Department of Entomology, University of California, Riverside, CA 92521, USA. *Correspondence: Roy Van Driesche, Email: [email protected] Received: 6 October 2016 Accepted: 7 November 2016 doi: 10.1079/PAVSNNR201611044 The electronic version of this article is the definitive one. It is located here: http://www.cabi.org/cabreviews © CAB International 2016 (Online ISSN 1749-8848) Abstract Non-target impacts of parasitoids and predaceous arthropods used for classical biological control of invasive insects include five types of impact: (1) direct attacks on native insects; (2) negative foodweb effects, such as competition for prey, apparent competition, or displacement of native species; (3) positive foodweb effects that benefited non-target species; (4) hybridization of native species with introduced natural enemies; and (5) attacks on introduced weed biocontrol agents. Examples are presented and the commonness of effects discussed. For the most recent three decades (1985–2015), analysis of literature on the host range information for 158 species of parasitoids introduced in this period showed a shift in the third decade (2005–2015) towards a preponderance of agents with an index of genus-level (60%) or species-level (8%) specificity (with only 12% being assigned a family-level or above index of specificity) compared with the first and second decades, when 50 and 40% of introductions had family level or above categorizations of specificity and only 21–27 (1985–1994 and 1995–2004, respectively) with genus or 1–11% (1985–1994 and 1995–2004, respectively) with species-level specificity.

Agonopterix caucasiella sp. n. is described and compared with its closest relatives, A. ciliella (Stainton, 1849) and A. heracliana (Linnaeus, 1758). Adults and genitalia of these species are figured. The life history of A. caucasiella sp. n. in the Caucasus is described. Its larva feeds in the umbels of Heracleum mantegazzianum Sommier & Lévier (Apiaceae) (giant hogweed), an invasive weed in Europe, which is moreover toxic to human skin. The complicated and controversial nomenclature of the related A. heracliana (Linnaeus) {Phalaena (Tortrix)) is discussed, as is that of Depressaria heracliana (Linnaeus) sensu auctt.
